A deeply touching book, flashing between a young woman's ordeals at the Hermitage Museum during the horrendous siege of Leningrad during WW II and late life, as Alzheimer's takes hold. Art is a strong theme. Wonderfully human. If the writing had been more taut, this would have deserved the highest rating.
